Lamb Mince Nutrition

Lamb Mince Nutrition (Per 100 g cooked)

Grilling lamb mince on a Charkii braai allows some fat to drip away during cooking, so the final nutrition can vary depending on the fat percentage of the mince used. A typical cooked lamb mince serving provides high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.

 

​​Nutrient                        Approximate Amount

These values are based on cooked ground/minced lamb nutritional averages and grilled preparation methods. Leaner mince will be lower in calories and fat, while regular lamb mince will be richer and juicier.
